The only thing I could really find is that there are a LOT of
wildlife refuges around coastal areas.

I noticed that. And even though they seem innocuous on the charts, some
have
implied that the consequences of bothering the bugs or worms or rats or
whatever is being protected can be significant.

Other than that, the fuel requirements will probably take hold.
You must carry enough fuel to arrive at your planned destination
and then beyond that for another half-hour (in VFR conditions in
daytime). If your destination is the middle of the ocean, I guess
you're probably covered.

It's not just an ocean thing. I presume that flights over areas like the
Great Lakes would be covered. Even a flight across the Great Salt Lake
might
be covered (?); at least it looks pretty big on the map.


It's a lot easier to swim in Great Salt Lake.
